Shake It Up
from Fuel Yer Delusion, Vol. 4 by Mutts
lyrics
Sitting in the corner, guess I’m not such a real good boy
Mama says I’m far too old to be playing with toys
“Put down your kaleidoscope and check your blind spot, son”
This direction’s left for dead – it’s time to turn instead
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up
Don’t know the difference between old timers and has-beens
I’m not gonna stick around to find where I fit in
My ego busted off, my rearview bustin’ seems
Now nothing’s far away, not as far as it seems
I cracked my lookin’ back
Packed a stolen Cadillac
Found a tattered map
I’m going wherever it leads
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up
Only my confusion has the confidence
To stand up and be counted ‘though it makes no sense
The dirt is always cleaner so I hop the fence
And shake it up shake it up shake it up shake it again
Once I had it figured out I left it in the dust
Yes is not an answer I will ever learn to trust
Lean in for the lesson, hear I’ll whisper in your ear…
shhhhhhhhhake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
shake it up.
Mama says I’m far too old to be playing with toys
“Put down your kaleidoscope and check your blind spot, son”
This direction’s left for dead – it’s time to turn instead
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up
Don’t know the difference between old timers and has-beens
I’m not gonna stick around to find where I fit in
My ego busted off, my rearview bustin’ seems
Now nothing’s far away, not as far as it seems
I cracked my lookin’ back
Packed a stolen Cadillac
Found a tattered map
I’m going wherever it leads
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up
Only my confusion has the confidence
To stand up and be counted ‘though it makes no sense
The dirt is always cleaner so I hop the fence
And shake it up shake it up shake it up shake it again
Once I had it figured out I left it in the dust
Yes is not an answer I will ever learn to trust
Lean in for the lesson, hear I’ll whisper in your ear…
shhhhhhhhhake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up
shake it up.

Green Altar has special place in my heart, such a beautiful song with touching words. It came out shortly before our wedding and we had our first dance to it, weeks after the wedding we saw and met chelsea and she congratulated us, this song always stirs up all the emotions

Medicine is one of the most hauntingly beautiful albums I've ever had to privilege to hear. It helped me get more in touch with my own self, spirituality and nature. It certainly lives up to its name. The flutes, drumming and percussion are just wonderful. This is a great album to let play all the way through.
